2025 In-person AFNAD gathering

Tuesday 25 November 2025

Wurundjeri Country | AVI Office, 160 Johnston St, Fitzroy VIC 3065

  • Main gathering: 9:00am - 4:00pm

  • Networking event: 4:30pm - 6:15pm

Join us for our first in-person gathering of members! The event will be held in Naarm (Melbourne), and is a one-day event designed to:

  • bring members together to meet and connect

  • yarn about our work in the development sector

  • contribute to the strategic plan we are developing for AFNAD

The event will also feature a one hour dialogue with DFAT's Office for First Nations International Engagement. We'll finish the day with networking drinks, inviting professionals from across the sector, including managing contractors and other organisations.

We are pleased to share that DFAT has provided funding to support the hosting of this gathering. To make this gathering inclusive, a small amount of funds are available to support members travelling from outside Melbourne, particularly where their workplaces are unable to assist with travel costs.

Please RSVP via this form, and let us know if you have any support needs or dietary requirements.

Hope to see you there!
